Free Birds (2013)

Free Birds Synopsis

In this hilarious, adventurous buddy comedy for audiences of all ages, directed by Jimmy Hayward (Horton Hears a Who!), two turkeys from opposite sides of the tracks must put aside their differences and team up to travel back in time to change the course of history - and get turkey off the Thanksgiving menu for good.

While researching this list, you wouldn’t believe how many incredibly forgettable animated movies we discovered that were released over the last decade – but we culled the list down to 15, and we’re betting that you won’t be able to guess the titles for most – if not all – of them. Do you accept the challenge? If so, read on!

To be expected, the foreign films are the meatier bits, and the clear frontrunner to me is Hayao Miyazaki’s historical fantasy The Wind Rises - even though I haven’t seen it yet. It’s the last film for the legendary director, whose Spirited Away took the prize back in 2001.

It was pretty well expected that the highly anticipated (or, at least, highly marketed) Ender's Game would be number one this weekend, but just how close it would come to missing that mark wasn't on most box office radars.

Thanks to one of those new movies opening this weekend, the animated movie Free Birds, we're making it that much easier for you to bring movies right to you. One lucky winner will not only get a four-disc DVD prize pack showing off the talent behind Free Birds, but a three-month Netflix subscription-- so once you've watched all the DVDs, you'll have thousands of other options waiting for you. Here's a list of the four DVDs in the prize pack

Getting a late start this week, but believe me it’s worth the wait. Well at least one of the movies is worth it. The other two? Not so much. This week Ender plays his game, old dudes go to Vegas and birds go free

Reggie and Jake are on a mission that involves trying to go back to the first Thanksgiving and alter history by changing up the traditional meal. Turkeys can’t take this no more! Along the way, they meet Jenny (Amy Poehler), the obvious love interest.

Just as Reggie is finding himself living one of the most privileged lives that a turkey can live – going so far as to ask, “Does it get any better than this?” – Woody Harrelson’s turkey Jake shows up to turn Reggie’s pizza-filled life upside-down.

A holiday just wouldn’t be a holiday without a children’s animated movie to coincide with it. If anyone was already planning their 2014 Thanksgiving around the release of Jimmy Hayward’s Turkeys, you’re out of luck. But it’s not even bad news, pilgrim.

Relativity Media is making some changes to its upcoming schedule, and the two projects they are moving around couldn't be more different. The studio has announced via press release that the animated comedy Turkeys, starring Owen Wilson and Woody Harrelson, has officially landed a due date, while the Nicholas Sparks adaptation Safe Haven is moving towards a holiday release.

More than two years ago, Owen Wilson and Woody Harrelson boarded Turkeys. The project was meant to be the first of several animated movies from Bedrock Studios with smaller budgets, but in the time since, there hasn’t really been much new information about how things were progressing, at least until today when Relativity Media and Reel FX released a statement saying they’re going to co-finance the film.

Bedrock Studios is looking to start cranking out family films for under a $35 million price tag, the first of which will be Turkeys. The film will follow two turkeys who travel back in time to the very first Thanksgiving
